The best way to read this book is to go somewhere in the Mountains or a remote Village. I did that and it made the lecture so much more magical. The protagonist, Vitoria,  is such an amazing and complex character, like no other I have ever seen. Her intuition is so powerful, she never needs answers from the exterior, as she always finds the answers to her problems in herself. From the books I had to read for the exams, this is my absolute favourite
